ABSTRACT

SUMMARY: Several archaeological field studies have been carried out on the Intendant’s Palace site since 1982. In the first ten years, research concentrated on the 17th-century brewery, the Intendant’s Palace and the King’s Stores. When Université Laval’s field school returned to the site in 2000, it took a holistic approach rather than focusing on specific buildings. In so doing, it documented the urban evolution of this part of Québec City, which has yielded evidence of continuous occupation since the mid-17th century.
